Goodreads asked Jon Christopher:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jon Christopher I was inspired by all the hoopla surrounding 2012 and started this book during that summer. I wrote off and on for the last five years, adding pieces as they came to me. Part 2 of the story happened in a quick few days this last summer and I literally had to write as fast as I could to keep up with the story.

The inspiration comes from all the little details of life. Anything that's happened in my life could end up in one of my novels.
